Background jobs

To support all the functionality, Control Center relies on scheduled background jobs for certain tasks. These tasks must run regularly for Control Center to work as expected.

Scheduled tasks

A selection of important scheduled tasks include:

  • All trainings with status In Queue or Pre-Training are given a continued interest request each month, and a reminder after a week.
  • ATC Active is flag given based on ATC activity. Refreshes daily with data from VATSIM Data API. It counts the hours from today's date and backwards according to the length of qualification period.
  • Daily member cleanup, if a member leaves the division, their training will be automatically closed. Same for mentors. Does not apply to visitors.
  • Member data, including the VATSIM rating held, is refreshed daily at 04:00 from your OAuth provider. A rating upgrade granted by VATSIM can therefore take up to a day to show in Control Center.
  • Roster sync keeps the Division roster in step with your active members. Members with a recently completed rating upgrade task are never removed, since their local rating is only waiting to catch up. See Roster Sync for the exact window.
